3D printing is capable of producing complex items, and it’s getting more advanced all the time. However, rarely could you call what a 3D printer spits out “tasty.” Hershey is optimistic, though. It is looking to get on board with the fledgling field of 3D food printing to print candy. The chocolatier is partnering with 3D printing giant 3D Systems, which recently made headlines in the food industry when it built a 3D printer that makes objects out of sugar.

Being in the sugary sweets business, Hershey is quite interested in the 3D systems technology. In its announcement of the partnership, Hershey said it will be making new types of candy with 3D Systems, but also hopes to create a class of food printers — maybe even consumer-level units so you can print your own custom treats. The press release seems to have been written to leave a bit of wiggle room in case Hershey wants to make something other than chocolate with printers.

The $5,000 and $10,000 ChefJet printers announced previously by 3D Systems rely on a supersaturated solution of sugar and water. When the liquid is extruded it crystallizes to hold its shape. There is also a special inkjet-style print head that can add food coloring to the mix. More work will be needed if Hershey wants to print its iconic chocolate bars in new shapes with 3D printers. Keeping chocolate flowing will require careful control of temperature. For the time being, you’ll have to make do with boring old bar-shaped chocolate.

And if candy isn’t your thing but you want some 3D-printed carbs Barilla — the world’s largest pasta maker — has some good news for you.
